Parents of students at six Queensland schools that are to close at the end of the year say Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek has failed to meet a deadline to disclose more details about the decision.

The Save Our Schools lobby group had sent Mr Langbroek "a statement of reasons", calling on him to disclose why the six schools are closing.

Group spokeswoman Karen Mortimer, a Stuart State School parent in Townsville, says lawyers will now lodge an application in the Supreme Court to force Mr Langbroek to respond.

"I think the Education Minister is taking a position for himself to hold strong and firm on his position, but he's being very naive and ignorant in the fact there are avenues in place for the general public to pursue these matters," she said.

"Now this means it goes up to the next step now, which we will be lodging an application with the Supreme Court.

"The Supreme Court under section 38 of the Judicial Review Act will order the Education Minister to provide a statement of reasons or his reasons for not doing so."

Mr Langbroek says he has received the application, however he says he is not legally required to provide reasons.
